Hello, hello! I see today as having been a "good day." Though my knee is killing me and my upper G.I. is on fire....we got quite a bit done. Completed my daughters U.C. Applications for fall semester more than 24 hrs. before the deadline. Woohoo! Also, got my living room rearranged to fit the Christmas tree in with the help of my daughter. Thank you very much :) My hunny came over this afternoon and treated my windshield with Rain-X before the storm hit. Another bonus! All in all...I'd have to say it was a good day indeed. Let's have more days like this please :]

It's so cold this morning! Storm is rolling in and it's already raining.  I would swear my eyes had sand dumped in them. Not even visine is doing the trick. I'm still having issues with my itchy face. I was going to take Benadryl last night but I forgot, so I took it this morning. And my main complaint today has got to be the joint pain and stiffness I'm having. I'm assuming that's part of the Polyarthritis? My back, hips, left knee and three middle fingers of my left hand are screaming!! I used to laugh when I'd hear older folks talk about how their arthritis would act up when it rained. I'm not laughing anymore :(  Aside from that, I'm hoping to pull my Christmas deco out today so we can start decorating. DJ is sure looking forward to it. Anyhoo....Good morning and have a great day!

Bad day to be in my skin....

Hello everyone. It's me again. I feel like I got quite a lot accomplished today even though I feel like I'm having an allergy attack. Not sure why. If it's a symptom, it's a new one cause I can't recall ever going through this one before. So my face has been bright red all day today...and itchy like nobody's business! I am scratchin at my face and it's just not helping! Mostly around the jaw and cheek area. Occasionally on my forehead. It's getting rediculous. I think i might try some Benadryl. I'll et you know how it turns out! :)

Tired

Here's to wishing I had the smallest bit of energy to decorate my house for Christmas. I'm just not feelin it. I don't know if it's fatigue or depression. Oddly, I believe those things feel more or less the same. Have a good day everyone.

OH NO NO NO!

Woke up to an earthquake this morning. Those who know me well, called me right away to make sure I wasn't leaping off my balcony. I am NOT okay with earthquakes. FREAK OUT! Just to get it in writing so nobody thinks I'm crazy later....I had what I thought was a dream the other night, that someone came to me and warned me there would be a 7.2 quake soon, and to prepare my home and my children because it would be devastating. Then this. This was on a fault that's had no activity since the 1800's "The Hayward Fault" This fault produced such a devastating quake in the 1800's that it's still among the top 10 most devastating quakes in history. (Got that snipet of info from the Berkeley USGS website)

About down for the evening.

So, I finally got out and went to the grocery store to get bread and milk and coffee creamer for the week. I only waited till 11pm to go! LOL. That is another thing about me these days, It's like I don't want to be around people often..so I kind of wait until the world is busy or asleep before I go out. Main reason I decided to go besides my kids needing milk in the morning was a sale on some heating rub at Walgreens. Register Rewards on the MaxFreeze heat gel was equal to it's price so I had to go get my FREE heat gel. :) I have applied it to my left knee which has been hurting and pretty debilitating for several months now, and now we shall see if it's worth its usual $7.99 price tag. If so, I will have to go back tomorrow and get another one for Free!!! I just love freebies! Especially when they make me feel better ::))
